I forgot how much this book makes me kick my feet smiling… ugh the banter and the overall world building is just chefs kiss.

I like this. I’m getting hooked now!

Dare I say Alex Aster’s best work so far… Lightlark was just a continuous decline as the books went on but this one feels like characters have depth. The world is also fascinating and I really enjoy it.

Okay… first three chapters felt like Lightlark but in a different font… felt very carbon copied. BUT, as we are getting into it and discovering the world… I quite like it. It’s becoming better than I expected. Hopefully this has some substance unlike the last couple books of Lightlark….

OH MY GOSH I FORGOT THAT CLIFFHANGER. UUUUGGGHHHHHHHH.

Okay damn. Vanessa is outdoing herself with this one. I love the banter, I love the jokes. This is so fun! I don’t want this book to end…

This… is so interesting… an allegory for totalitarianism after WW1. It’s bending my brain a bit.

Wow I’m already crying. This book just comes out swinging with the deep and heartfelt. Oof… this is gonna be hard to finish.

This is cute! I like this mini cross over series.

Okay, the haters of this book…. I “understand” but not really. Gives me great gatsby vibes. I love this storyline and these characters, and the setting.

Ugh. I love this book. A classic for sure.

I think if I was reading this book and not listening to it… I’d be a bawling mess. It’s sad for sure, but I’m not as emotional. Oh my goodness is this so sweet… I’m so excited for what the show is going to be like.

Wow wow wow this is sad. My heart…. 🥺😭

Honestly, I love this so far. For sure different from other books of Emily’s, but I genuinely feel so cozy reading this. It’s so feel good…

Uhm.. okay. This book is not as good as Brynn’s other books for sure. Kinda boring? Not funny? I want humor… banter… but I’m not really getting that. Entertaining maybe… but not what I expected. Also the murders? Not as gruesome.

I love this. I love this series… I love these characters!

Okay. This series was great in the first few books. But the lack of depth of each character is just so bad. The constant “but I love you. I love HIM! I’ll always love you” on every page… and constant dialogue of “I love her. She’s my everything. I can see why she’d love you too. But she’s mine.” And that being the amount of depth we get… or dialogue. Ugh. This is annoying. I zoned out.

First time in a long time I’m reading a series I can’t put down.

Very interesting so far, love the world building.

Okay. This book is taking me what… almost two full months to read? Longest time it’s taking me to read something in a long time. At this point I’m finishing it just to finish it. Haven’t been interested in this since the start… just very hard for me to picture this world and the magic.

Book got returned early so I had to wait 2 weeks to finish it. For sure so cozy and such a cute romance. Definitely low stakes but it’s such a slice of life and I love it.

Already highlighted so much. This book is about to change my life. It’s been on my list for so long and I’m excited to learn a lot from this.

Oof. This book is hard to listen to but also so validating.

This is so cute. I love this dynamic between these characters. It is definitely close to hunger games but does not make me nostalgic and wish I was reading that instead. I love how this is taking on a theme of its own.

Wow wow oh wow I’m in love with this. This is such a cute story.

Uhm… this is cheesy to the max. I like it? But I also hate it. The writing is poor at best, the tension is non existent and then all at once… I feel like I’m reading a wattpad fanfic written by a middle schooler who doesn’t know story boarding… I’m disappointed so far but also can’t put it down?

Finishing this tonight. This is too good.

UHM….. WHAT? YAAASSSSSSS.

It’s an hour past my bedtime but I’m GONNA KEEP READING BECAUSE I CANT STOP??? Oh the shit eating grin on my face when Ren, Carrion, Saeris, and Fisher were eating dinner. This banter is so good.

Whoa. Kingfisher… calm down. 🥵
